Noah And The Family Group Photo

Last Sunday, Mum, Dad, Matt and Polly came round to celebrate Mum's birthday and see baby Noah. Everything was going well and we decided to take a group photo of everyone in the garden. Unfortunately, it was at that point that Maria decided to tell Noah she was going to vote for Ken Livingstone in the London Mayoral election on May 1st. Well. You can imagine. After that, it was impossible to settle Noah. Just look at the result...

Noah screams in family photo after hearing Maria will vote for Ken Livingstone on May 1st. From left to right, top to bottom: Matt, Polly, Mum, Dad, Mike, Maria and Noah.

A close up of Noah after hearing the news. We could only settle Noah after I told him I would be voting for Boris, hence cancelling out Maria's vote.

On a serious note, the midwife visited yesterday and weighed little Noah and it turns out he is too little. Since birth he has lost 10% of his body weight, so the midwife advised us to go to Accident and Emergency at Mayday Hospital. We were at Mayday for 6 hours yesterday and they did loads of tests. The good news is that everything is fine and all we need to do is top up Noah's feeding with a little formula. The trip also meant that Noah got a free MOT from the doctors at Mayday Hospital and passed with flying colours.

I'm glad to report that so far everything is going very well. Noah is normally very well behaved, does not get us up too many times during the night and is generally a very content baby.

Thanks to everyone who has sent cards and presents.
